Prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential, abbreviated PSTUMP, is a rare lesion of the prostatic stroma which cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant.
It may be abbreviated as STUMP;[1] an abbreviation used for a uterine lesion of uncertain malignant potential.
It is also known as prostatic stromal proliferation of uncertain malignant potential (abbreviated PSPUMP).[2]
General
- Rare.
- Some reports of progression to prostatic stromal sarcoma< ref=name=pmid17170745/>
Microscopic
Features:
- Overgrowth of spindle cells - "hypercellular stroma" - key feature.[1]
- +/-Atypical nuclei.[1]
- +/-Multinucleation.
- Lack prominent vessels - distinguishes from stromal nodule in BPH.[3]
Note:
- Do not have necrosis and no or minimal mitotic activity - important.[1]
- May be seen with glandular abnormalities.[4]
DDx:
- Stromal proliferation in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- Prostatic stromal sarcoma.[1]
- Leiomyosarcoma.
- Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Subclassification
May be subclassified as per Gaudin et al.:[2]
- Scattered atypical cells with benign glands.
- Minimal atypical cells.
- Leaf like growth pattern (phyllodes-like).
- Atypical cells without glands.
Images
IHC
Features:[1]
- ER +ve.
- PR +ve.
- Desmin +ve/-ve.
- CD34 +ve.
